Britain is only bonkers because of the awful attitudes of some British archaeologists. What on earth do they say when they meet archaeologists from abroad?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-66143795086975066772017-04-24T02:10:03.516-07:002017-04-24T02:10:03.516-07:00>I can't tell you what else she said Paul a...>I can't tell you what else she said Paul as she has blocked me too.<<br />It is really pathetic isn't it when British archaeologists happily chat about superficialities with artefact collectors ('passinitly intresid in th' past') but have not the stomach to address the broader issues in discussions with those urging a more searching look at the realities hidden behind such glib acquiescent camaraderie. <br /> <br /><br />Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-19489526713288227832017-04-23T23:15:25.436-07:002017-04-23T23:15:25.436-07:00I can't tell you what else she said Paul as sh...I can't tell you what else she said Paul as she has blocked me too.<br /><br />It seems that while she thinks encouraging metal detecting is a very bad thing, criticism PAS for doing exactly that shouldn't be allowed.<br /><br />I wonder if she'll block her UCL colleague Sam Hardy for recently delivering a blow against metal detecting (and therefore PAS) three times more devastating than anything I've ever served up.<br /><br />Oh well, I guess Heritage Action's face just doesn't fit, though not to the extent she wasn't happy to feature in our Journal! https://heritageaction.wordpress.com/2012/12/18/inside-the-mind-of-lorna-richardson/ <br /><br />Funny old world, innit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
